Buttons on console controllers or PC joysticks are quite small. Why wouldn't that be "playable or comfortable" on a bartop? |
| Xiaou2:
Console buttons are less than 3/4 scale. A bit too small for top play. They are also highly resistive, designed to be pressed with the Thumb and in a highly leveraged position. And of course, the mounting depth is too shallow. Also, youd have to make your own outter shell cause a gamepads surround is part of the case itself. Finally, they use very poor switches IMOP. |

Suzo Inductives come in 38mm and 32 mm ball handles. The latter are nice for cocktails etc. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: |

The joystick from a mechanical bull control panel would be a perfect size. And they use a basic 4 microswitch style base. (just smaller base and switches) 8-Way capability as well. Just gotta remember who some of the manufacturers were........... |

So, perhaps there is a distributor already, but I'm unaware of them. --- End quote --- I haven't been inside a Golden Tee plug and play to see what's there, but at the scale these are manufactured, I would think that they are custom made specifically for that gizmo. I suspect there is a multi-button circuit board underneath them as well, rather than discrete switches. But that's just a guess. It's going to be a challenge to find something that feels similar but is smaller as the size of the button and the features of the top of the plunger are responsible for a lot of that "feel". But I'll try a few and see what I can come up with (if anything.) RandyT |
